Plextor M6e Black Edition PCIe SSD Review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 03/10/2015 01:15 PM [ 8 comment(s) ]

Plextor released an update of its M.2 Express based PCI Express SSD, we review the M6e Black Edition. An M.2. SSD mounted onto a PCI Express 2.0 x4 slot could be interesting for many. Alongside an aesthetic overhaul this product will be available in 128 GB, 256 GB and 512 GB volume sizes, all powered by a Marvell controller. Plextor developed a PCI-Express based SSD that can reach performance in the 700 toi 800 MB/s range.

Great article

But .. i would not recommend people that don't know what they are doing to fiddle with disabling prefetch and superfetch.

it has nothing to do with writes, wich is only thing you should be concerned about with ssd's
Fetching is only about reading, hence the name .. fetch

I have 2 SSD drives that I installed 3 years ago and they still work great. One of them for a boot drive and the other for my favorite games. When I would lose interest and found another game that I would play everyday, I would swap out the game. I also used it for shadow play recordings because of the speed. These have lasted longer than a lot of mechanical drives I have owned. Most people use them for boot drives and use a HDD for storage and that's basically what I also do. I also got 2 more SSD's for Christmas so I'm set for awhile. I will never go back to using a HDD as a boot drive or gaming drive unless I absolutely have to, probably never. They seem to last plenty long for someone like myself who plays games and browses the net. I am not worried about lifespan one bit.


Thanks for the comments! C:\ boot SSD it is... ;)

I believe that Prefetch & Superfetch are disabled by default if you do a fresh install of an operating system on an SSD. For people that clone a drive from HDD to SSD, then these people would be the ones that need to disable Prefetch & Superfetch - this can simply be done by running Windows Experience Index after you have installed your SSD.
